Shocking Video: Tugboat Sinks With A Man, Saved By a Kayaker
Watch this shocking video of a tugboat which capsizes along with a man inside while pulling a barge at Skookumchuck Narrows . The man is trapped inside the capsized tug before he is rescued by a Kayaker.
Kayaker Dave Fusilli of Team Demshitz paddles out his Pyranha kayak in an attempt to save the man from the wreckage. Luckily no one was killed and a nearby tug pulled the barge and submerged tug to safety before the tide went out and the rapids of Skookumchuck became dangerous.
